When a professor at Sweden's Umea University had his computer stolen, he was devastated by the loss of his data more than anything. But a week after the theft, he got a package in the mail: A USB drive.
The thief had backed up his data and mailed it to him. Writes The Local:
The professor was shocked to discover the thief had copied all the documents and personal files from his laptop to the memory storage device, a process which likely took hours.
All things considered, the professor is delighted at the outcome, despite the loss of his computer.
Wonder if this guy was planning to do this all along, or if he was wracked by guilt and sleepless nights once he discovered the professor's data on the computer, "Tell-tale Heart" style. Either way, he's still a jerk.
